We did, we had the mattress in a corner. I or DH (dear husband) slept on the outside and I'd sneak away after she was asleep. It's much easier with a foam mattress. DD (dear daughter) only rolled off a couple of times, and most of those times she stayed asleep. But she was already almost 2.

I've heard that babies who have bed shared usually fall out of bed less than crib sleepers. Because they are used to having edges

I transitioned my ODS to a floor bed at 12 months. I would lay down with him and then sneak away. His mattress was in the corner just like PP (previous poster) and I have no memory of him rolling off. He certainly could have but it clearly was no big deal if I can’t remember it happening 🤷🏻‍♀️.

I just started using a floor bed with LO. So far so good. I can sneak away at night time for about 2 hours. He moves around when I’m not there but has not rolled off. LO (little one) rolling off is the least of my concerns.
